Its not beyond the realms of possibility that you've blown all 4 bulbs - when old they do seem to go when messing with the MID.

If you have knackered the MID, if yours is a post 98 model (single grey connector), I may have a spare...

I had the same thing happen to mine one day ok then I thought that the MID had packed up but just bulbs gone in it too. But if you think about it these bulbs are on all the time the car is running so they are on a fair bit  ;)

strange but true.  the climate unit is the same - remove that and expect all bulbs to blow....
